Celebrate



Happy Easter! What's wrong with this picture? Don't we all think of spring, warmth and flowers when we think of Easter? My children are "hunting" for Easter Eggs in coats & gloves. :) The girls brought home more candy than we could ever possibly eat. Guess what's going in the May Day baskets? Everything around here has to be of multiple use or it's gone. ha ha

We had a great Easter! We did the fun kiddie stuff Saturday and then the girls opened their baskets Sunday morning before church. After church we had some friends over for dinner...lots of ham, cheesy potatoes and devilled eggs. But the greatest part of easter was when my oldest daughter told us she was ready to be baptized. Nothing is more exciting than hearing your child make a decision to follow Jesus Christ for the rest of her life. She understands what it means to ask the Holy Spirit to dwell within her. She also understands that there will still be trials and she will still make mistakes. April 6th at 11am Emma will publicly demonstrate her faith. We are so excited!!! There's a party going on in Heaven.

Hi Melanie,

I just read your blog. Believe it is the first time I have "blogged." Glad Reagan's dental appt went good. Her teeth look beautiful.
Have a nice day!
